The Knicks aint made this move for no damn Lloyd pierce

He won't, but he also won't let them only run 13-18 PnRs per game between them. Our offense is gross and doesn't play to it's strengths at all. There was a point in the playoffs where Brunson/KAT were running less PnR per game than Portis and Porter Jr.
Everyone expected a deadly two man game between them, we got none of that.
there's this other end of the court that it seems very few people care about. that's where we lost this series. look at the pacers score in the games we won.

while true...the amount of miscommunication and lack of consistency for the entire roster is on the coaching too.
Like sure you aren't just magically making Brunson and KAT defend.
But at the end of game 1 how many miscommunications did OG have? Mikal has lost guys on switches....
The team looked lost sometimes and not just because of KAT.
And thats just on defense...the fact we never saw Brunson/KAT look there best together is pretty damning on Thibs on the offensive side.

What did Tom do to help fix the problem?
Why did he wait til we were down 0-2 to start using the bench?
Tom made more than 'some' mistakes in my opinion. This team had issues all year long.
We have a roster construction issue - one that familiarity over a full playoff run and training camp might have resolved. Since we’re replacing the coach, there’s now pressure to fix the roster while continuity is no longer a consideration.

And also, I don't think this was a Dolan decision. This definitely feels like a Leon Rose one.
Time is a flat circle.
The Bulls fired him to get our Kerr and hired Hoiberg - they've won 3 playoff games in a decade. He elevated the roster in a way only he can and when you took him away from it - things fell apart.
I'm sorry but this isn't a good move.
It absolutely is.

Here's the problem, our defense was better against them in the playoffs this season, last season with half the team hurt we had a better ORTG by almost +4.
So, somehow our offense got worse with more offensive weapons?

I am optimistic this is the reason for the rush.
